thinking of trading o7 RG
I have this in the general chat section thought I would repost here.
I was thinking of trading my 07 roadglide.
I would remove the trunk and turn it back to stock.
Plus trade in my 2000 wide glide or put it on consignment.
For a new 08 roadglide same color as mine.
Am I nuts? I have 10,000 mi on the RG and 11,000 on
the WG.
Oh both are paid off.

To me the black and chrome engine is a big plus to the 08. Not much else though.

I posted this awhile back from another member;
Got the 2008 touring model catalog in my hands and quickly went through a comparison of engine/gearbox components with the 2007 touring models. Some of the changes are hidden deep in certain components.
Engine [ul][*]front head (new front motor mount)[*]crank bearing[*]cams[*]induction module (new fly by wire system)[*]Stator assembly[*]new ECM etc (new fly by wire system)[*]crank shaft position sensor[*]Starter assembly[*]starter clutch subassembly[/ul]
Gearbox [ul][*]clutch cable[*]transmission assembly[*]transmission case subassembly[*]lock rings 11081 A[*]Inner primary bearing inner race[*]Input shaft[/ul]
It appears to me that the MoFoCo addressed the major issues with the 07 drivetrain in a sneaky way.
Cams to deal with the pinging and likely the overheating, the starter to address premature failures and maybe the noise and my absolute favorite , new transmission assembly with new case, input shaft bearings and a few other minor things to deal with the non existing 07 transmission problem.

My bad, gunrunner - I meant the bigger tank and some of the other stuff is not as important to me as the black engine change. After reading some of the other stuff I didn't know about (not really interested in trading now, so I haven't done a lot of research) there are definately some big advantages to the 08. That's some good info - thanks!
